[pantheraliam]

Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?
Because your leg looks like it may be broken. Do we need to call the hospital?


Directions:
1. Post a TL with your character name and canon; include preferences or a starting text if need be
2. Make up your own pick-up line or find one from a generator
3. Start text threads on other TLs using your pick-up line
4. Have fun!

Open to all fandom characters, OCs, AUs, CRAUs, etc.

[Either she’s full of shit or she doesn’t know he’s mostly gay. This is awkward. He is not well-versed in women and he was not expecting this tonight.]

Yeah, ok. Good one. You looking for Oikawa? Cause you can just message him. I’m nobody’s wing man and he doesn’t bite unless you startle him.

[oriental_dragon]

[ Completely and utterly full of shit. But that doesn't mean she's not at least partially into him. He's a good looking guy and pretty badass on the court. How's a girl supposed to resist? ]

pfft. please. i have enough pretty boys in my life without adding prettykawa to the mix.

[bluecastleace]

[Oh? What’s this then? Mutual distaste for Oikawa? And from a woman no less? He very nearly smiles at his phone.]

Well, if you really were looking to get my attention, you’ve got it.

What’s up? Spare me the pick-up lines though.

Unless you’ve got a good one.

[oriental_dragon]

unfortunately there arent a lot of good volleyball related pickup lines. and most of them are degradingly aimed towards girls.

[ Trust her on this. She's looked them up. ]

[bluecastleace]

[Well, we can’t have that. Iwaizumi may not be well-versed in women, but he does drink his respect women juice. He has a mom, you know!]

Somehow I think I’ll survive without them.

Who is this?

[oriental_dragon]

Tenten. Libero. Konoha High girl's team.

and i hit you with the best line i could find, if that says anything.

[bluecastleace]

I appreciate the effort.

Is that in the Miyagi prefecture? I don’t think I’ve heard of it.

If you’re a libero, you must be good. That’s a tough position.

[Leave it to Iwaizumi to take the first opportunity to turn this into a sports discussion, but hey, you texted him.]

[oriental_dragon]

[ Her opening line had a volleyball reference, so she was expecting most of the conversation to be about sports. You're good. ]

close. Fukushima prefecture, just next door. and im no ace or setter but i think i do alright.

[bluecastleace]

To hell with that. Not that I’m one to sneeze at a good ace or a decent setter, but playing a team without a good libero is like taking candy from a baby. They’re the defensive cornerstone.

[oriental_dragon]

depends on the structure of the team. we all cant get monster spikers ore genius setters every year. but i like to think i set the bar pretty high for the other girls.

[bluecastleace]

Good point on that. Teams are made up of six players for a reason, right?

Didn’t expect to get schooled on my own principles tonight.

[oriental_dragon]

well when youre already a monster ace with a genius spiker, its easy to forget. so i'll give you a pass, this time.

[bluecastleace]

I’ve got a good team. A great team. Every one of them.

But I’ll take the compliment on the monster ace bit.

[oriental_dragon]

i'd say the compliment was earned. and i'm not usually one to hand them out freely.

[bluecastleace]

Then I’ll take it as high praise.

[oriental_dragon]

so. does it happen often? girls messaging you to try and get to Oikawa?

been wondering that, since you mentioned it.

[bluecastleace]

Not often, but sure as hell enough to piss me off.

[So, maybe twice, but it’s the principle of the thing.]

[oriental_dragon]

and do they normally open with a cheesy pick-up line, too?

[bluecastleace]

No, that was a new one.

I guess that should have given it away, huh?

[oriental_dragon]

i'm willing to overlook it if you are. weird messages from unknown numbers usually sets everyone off.

[bluecastleace]

Not that I’m not enjoying myself.

You seem like a pretty cool girl, Tenten.

[Enough that he’s still talking to her, even with his strong preference for males.]

[oriental_dragon]

[ What a coincidence! She has a strong preference for males too! Look, they have so much in common... ]

not as cool as you seem to be taking all this. my creep factor must be very low.

[bluecastleace]

What, should I be worried?

[oriental_dragon]

do you think you need to be worried?

[bluecastleace]

The way you’re talking, I’m starting to consider it.

How many people have you killed after delivering a pick-up line?
